For those who worship emperumAn with attachment derived out of bhakthi, emperumAn who has the five elements as his form, who is my master, becomes eternally placed in front of them. For those who accept his existence too, he is at their disposal. After this, is there anything to be done by us?

kaNNuLLE niRkum kAthanmaiyAl thozhil – When one worships with paramabhakthi (ultimate devotion), emperumAn will eternally stay in their vicinity. When they cannot exist without him, he too will not be able separate from them and will always stay in front of them.

eNNilum varum – Few explanations:

Even if one counts emperumAn along with other objects like gatam (pot), patam (cloth), Iswara (bhagavAn),emperumAn will arrive in front of him thinking “at least he did not deny my existence and counted me along with these objects”.

varum – will come – It does not mean that he will always be there. If some one says “go” on seeing emperumAn, he would be prepared to do that as well.

en ini vENduvam – When emperumAn arrives equally for ultimate devotion and simple contemplation/counting, is there any worry for me? When emperumAn is simply looking for aprathishEdham (non-prohibition) and arrive at him at an opportune time, what does the jIvAthmA needs to do for his own welfare? A prapanna simply means, one who understands this true nature of bhagavAn [being most compassionate]. Just like emperumAn explained about his nature and said in bhagavath gIthA 18.66 “mA sucha:” (do not worry) to say “you do not have to fear for the losses occurred due to your own defects”, AzhwAr too thinks about emperumAn‘s true nature and says “en ini vENduvam“. For the goal to be accomplished, non-prohibition (not stopping emperumAn from bestowing that goal) is only required. Any other qualification or dis-qualification is insignificant. vEl vetti nambiyAr enquires nampiLLai “When perumAL (srI rAma) surrendered unto the ocean (samudhrarAja), he did that facing east, etc. Does saraNAgathi also have certain rules/regulations like other means?”. nampiLLai replies “vibhIshaNAzhwAn instructed perumAL to surrender to samudhrarAja. But he himself did not even take a holy-dip in the ocean before surrendering unto perumAL. From this we can understand that since perumAL was born in ikshvAku vamsam and is one who gives great importance to such AchAram (purification, etc), he followed such rules. Since vibhIshaNAzhwAn was born in rAkshasa family, he did not follow any rules before surrending. So, qualified person need not give up his qualification and unqualified person need not earn qualification. Thus, this upAyam (saraNAgathi) is sarvAdhikAram (can be pursued by all without discrimination)”. For those who understands bhagavAn‘s greatness will have faith in this; For others who think that the result is given by the rituals themselves, will not have clear understanding of this principle.

maNNum … – bhagavAn is the most magnanimous person and the antharyAmi (in-dwelling soul) of the five great elements which are the manifested form of him as explained in thaiththiriya upanishat “bahusyAm” (let me be many). AzhwAr says “When such sarvEvaran who is the sustaining force for all entities other than him, thinks that he exists for those who have even a little bit of attachment towards him, what is there to worry for this AthmA?”. vAyu is stated as nal vAyu (good air) since it helps sustaining everyone.
